“Absolutely LOVED this excursion. The crew took care of everything -from the moment we arrived on the beach, they put us at ease. Shasta was an incredible guide, very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to search out interesting wildlife, diving down to the reef to point things out and lead us to interesting spots. We were a group of just 8; typically they take up to 20 but the boat fits more than that so you'll be comfortable regardless. There was also shade on the boat, they provided sunblock, banana bread, tasty wraps, non-alcoholic beverages, and even gave my husband something for sea-sickness. They made us feel very safe,…”

But lunch was great and there was plenty for everyone. On the way back to the harbor, Captain Doug spotted some turtles and stopped so we could all see them from the boat. Gorgeous weather and a fun day for everyone. Thanks especially to Enesyia who was so much…”
